The edge

Give your program the edge other programs don’t have.

Energy

The 4th fuel.

Veech Ketone Ester charges mitochondria and is a fuel source — useful for stamina, demanding work or when glucose availability becomes limiting.

Focus

Keep your head in the game without drifting.

Late in the effort, when focus fades, VKE keeps the mind fueled, sharper and out of the clouds, all without heart-racing, blood flow constricting caffeine.

Recovery

Recovery is where more work becomes possible.

Faster recovery and overnight muscle glycogen replenishment allows for more workouts and more gains.

Build your knowledge

Learn what works for your athletes.

The more you test timing, context and use across training, the more useful that knowledge becomes to your program.

VKE adds value to your program.
No other ketone comes close.

Where it fits

Four places VKE fits into your program.

Training

Session quality

Better workout lead to game-day performance.

Recovery

Short turnarounds

Demanding weeks and two-days where the second session was always worse than the first.

Competition

A fixed routine

What was refined in training becomes repeatable on competition day.

Traveling

Road games and tournaments

Flights, early starts and multi-day events. VKE keeps energy up and focused when it would otherwise be lagging.

Don’t introduce it for the first time on competition day.
Test and scale the protocols over weeks/months for best results.

Already using ketones?

If an athlete says they are already using ketones, make sure they are using Veech Ketone Ester (not a 'Diol')

The Veech Ketone Ester is the ketone behind the performance and recovery research. Other molecules raise BHB. They are not the same thing and the results do not transfer.

Protocol

The molecule matters. So does how you use it.

The best protocol depends on the athlete, sport, objective and schedule.

Test it in training, refine it, then make it repeatable.

We’ll help you find the protocol that works for your athletes. Schedule a consultation with Frank, CEO.

Make it part of the program

A competitive edge for the athlete AND a competitive edge for your program.

Make it part of your program.

Teach the protocol. Use it in the program. If your athletes want their own supply, purchase through an approved wholesale account and sell it directly.

Proof

What it looks like in real programs.

Duke Basketball used Ke4.
Then won the ACC Tournament.

Duke men’s basketball players used 20mL of KetoneAid Ke4 after games during the 2023 ACC Tournament. Duke won the tournament. Duke researchers later reported enhanced post-game muscle recovery and presented the data at ASPEN 2024.

“I can’t give a best player a placebo anymore.”

Conference abstract. Recovery measured by MuscleSound ultrasound Fuel-Score, not biopsy. We are not claiming Ke4 won the tournament.

Coaching / Motocross“Frank, I’ve learned lots from you. It’s been kind of a team effort to get guys on a program that is tailored to where they’re at and help them achieve their goals and get them to that point where they feel like they have an advantage over their competition.”

Real-world use

Elite endurance

KetoneAid is used by WorldTour cycling teams, across multi-day racing, mainly for recovery between stages. But it’s not just for cyclists. They are just an elite example.

Direct human evidence

Human research

The Veech Ketone Ester has 75+ independent human trials spanning performance, recovery, metabolism and cognition — research conducted on this molecule, not other "ketones".

Other uses

Take your sports clinic to the next level.

A niche case study example: advanced golf club fitting clinic

Elite club fitting analyzes a golfer’s swing across hundreds of shots to determine optimal equipment variables. The athlete is the one variable most fitting systems do not control. Two hours into a session, energy, focus, tempo and timing can drift.

A club fitting clinic can use a VKE protocol to keep the golfer's focus, energy and stamina more stable to produce more consistent late-session data for better results, and that fueling protocol can become part of the fitting service.

A niche sports-clinic example — not a claim of a proven golf-wide outcome.

Fuel-optimized performance: focus, consistency and data quality across a long fitting session
Long fitting sessions mean hundreds of swings and repeated decisions, with consistency drifting as the session runs
Fitting measures launch angle, ball speed, shaft load and strike location; the athlete’s fuel state is the untracked variable
Testing the protocol: baseline, fuel, measure, compare against metrics the fitter already trusts
Building the VKE protocol into the fitting service itself

Common questions

Questions coaches ask first.

Are all exogenous ketones the same?

No. Different ketones are different molecules and do not inherit the same human outcomes. The Veech Ketone Ester is the molecule behind the performance and recovery research discussed on this page. Exogenous Ketones →

How should coaches build VKE into an athlete’s program?

Start with the athlete, sport, objective, diet and schedule. Test the protocol in training, refine it, then make what works repeatable.

Should an athlete try VKE for the first time on competition day?

No. Test and scale the protocol over weeks/months for best results before using it in competition.

Is KetoneAid WADA tested?

Yes. KetoneAid products are batch tested for WADA prohibited substances.

Can coaches sell KetoneAid directly to athletes or clients?

Yes, through an approved KetoneAid wholesale account. Explore Wholesale →
